Just Because

Ain't love grand?

Some people say it's 

"Mighty like a rose".

And I've heard tell

Love casts a spell

On unsuspecting foes.

With an "ooh eee, ooh ahh ahh"

Most anyone can be mine.

And don't forget

The sure-fire hit,

Love Potion Number Nine.

Some say love's sappy

And makes them happy.

And some say sex is love. 

Another asserts love only hurts.

Yet it comes from God above?

What is this thing that we call "love"?

It's defined so many ways.

True love is this... true love is that...

In every well turned phrase.

I've heard one definition I like,

So I think I'll pass it on here.

It's not "tough love"

But it's tough to do,

'Cause you have to get over your fear.

It's to know someone with all their faults

And all their hidden flaws

And yet fully accept them just as they are

Truly love them... just because.
